Too Pretty to Be Your Backup novel Chapter 37

Travis turned to David Leila’s condition is serious. I’ve already reached out to medical team overseas. You should take her abroad for treatment.”

David stared at him, stunned, “You’re sending her away?”

Travis‘ gaze was steady and unyielding. “Her best chance is overseas. Isn’t that true?

David hesitated. “But you know she gets better when she’s with you. You-”

“David.” Travis cut him off, voice firm. “I’m getting married. I’ll have a family, kids. I can’t give up my whole life for her.”

Was Travis really that clueless? Did he not see how Leila felt about him, how she clung to him, always making waves in his life?

Of course he saw it.

He’d just always thought it was harmless, something he could overlook. And he did have his own reasons for looking after her.

But now, things had changed.

Amanda was truly upset this time. She barely spoke to him unless he pushed for it. He could feel her slipping away, and it scared him.

He looked at David and said, “Take her abroad for treatment. After Amanda and I have had our engagement party, our wedding, and everything’s official, Leila can come back.”

Just then, the emergency room doors burst open. Leila ran out, straight to Travis, and clung to his

waist.

“No! I don’t want to go! I don’t want to leave for treatment! Travis, please, don’t send me away!”

Travis gently pried her arms away, his expression serious. “Leila, this is for your own good. Treatment abroad will help you get better. I’ll take care of everything. When you’re fully recovered, I’ll bring you back myself.”

Tears streamed down Leila’s face as she shook her head over and over. “No… I’m fine, Travis. I don’t

want to leave you.”

David watched, heart aching. “Travis, her condition is stable now. She doesn’t really need to go abroad…”

Travis‘ eyes turned cold, his words final. “The team overseas is more specialized. It’s the best option for her.”

Leila sobbed harder, looking lost and betrayed. Why was Travis doing this to her? He’d never been this harsh before.

Travis let out a sigh. “I’ll handle all the arrangements. David will go with you, so you won’t be alone. You need to rest. Go lie down.”

He released her and started to walk away.
